Impressive cable routing, nice to see a manufacturer put in proper cable mounts to stop the frame getting destroyed .

i agree, ive rode it loads & the only bit of rub is on seat tube

That my man, is Stonking !
Great build, i'm starting to get the build "itch" however with a baby on the way its going to have to be put on hold grrrr......

:shock: Man, that is stunning! I love the look of the El Guapo frame, and the colour matching is spot on.

Very jealous!

The Big Cheese

possibly the bike of the year this one

.. a worthy successor

jaysonski

thanks guys! the bike rides like a dream, i have a few other already but since this was built i have hardly used any of them, i ride it everywhere, if any of you get chance to own or ride a Titus do it, i have been riding mountain bikes for 15 years & this is the best bike i have ridden by far

roachbiker

great looking bike, where did you buy the frame?

jaysonski

i ended up shipping it from the states, i couldnt find one in large for right money, it came from roaring mouse cycles in San Francisco

wilo

LOVE IT !

Where did you get the orange cables I NEED them :-)

jaysonski

the ones on were originally jagwire ripcord's but after a week or 2 the teflon coating came off & was hindering the shifting
Soooo, i bought Clarks orange housing & stainless cables:-

i put cable magic down housing & covered the cable in it & it shifts like sexy butter!
the brake hose's are goodrich, chain reaction job, effin expensive tho!

Radioactiveman

You can make your own coloured cables using coloured heat shrink, cheap and reduces cable rub.
